A 10-Month-Old Infant Presenting With Signs of Precocious Puberty Secondary to a Sclerosing Stromal Tumor of the Ovary in the Absence of Hormonal Elevation.

Precocious puberty in an infant is an alarming and infrequent finding, making the differential diagnosis difficult for practitioners. Precocious puberty secondary to a sclerosing stromal tumor (SST) of the ovary is rare. We present a case of a child that began precocious puberty at 3 months of age including development of breast buds, pubic hair, growth spurt, and menarche 5 days prior to presenting to pediatric endocrinology at 10 months. She underwent right salpingo-oophorectomy which demonstrated a soft tissue mass occupying almost the entire ovary with a tan-pink fleshy cut surface. Histological examination confirmed a variant of SST. This case represents an extremely young onset of precocious puberty secondary to a variant of SST without hormonal elevation.
